We Are Getting There.
Kirwin Chief. 10.


During the past week the Chief has
kept tally of all the movers teams pass
ing through Kirwin, going west, on Main
street. During the time there were fifty
six teams counted, with an average OF
three persons to each wagon. Thus, on
one road alone, emigrants are coming In
to western Kansas at the rate OF go per
sons month, bringing with them 224
teams, worth, at very low estimate,
$1,000 each; amounting to nearly S4O,-
600 worth of stock brought into northern
Kansas each month. To this must be
added household goods, cattle, ETC.; be-
sides this, each family bring more or
less ready money along with them to in
vest in their new homes, and this all goes
to assist in increasing the grand total OF
the wealth Of the great northwest, and all
the while the west-bound trains are load
ed down with passengers and freight.
The above are some of the reasons why 1T
looks to us as though Kansas is getting
there.

The Experimental Stations.
Topeka Capital,

IOpeka capital.
The success of the measure just passed
by congress, to maintain at the agricul-
tural college of each state a station for
experiments in scientific agriculture, and
to pay the expense Of it out of the nation
al treasury, is new evidence Of the
growing influence OF the farming interest
in national politics.
1t is distinct recognition of the Amer
lean farm as national concern. The
past two years Of national legislation have
been made notable by the laws enacted
for the protection of the farm from con-
tagious diseases and from the fraudulent
competition of butter factories, as well as
by this new measure for the advancement
of the practical agricultural education Of
the people.
Thirty years ago such legislation would
have been deemed absurd, and the great
statesmen would have been found quoting
the FcGeraliSt and Madison papers to
prove that no power was lodged in con-
gress to do anything OF the kind.
This generation, by the votes of the re-
publican party, has put to silence old
theories about the constitution, and not
The least gratifying evidence of the growth
and utility Of the national idea is the adj
mission Of the American farm into the
recognized list Of national industries.
